I don't think it's going to do much good cooling the radiator when the coolant isn't flowing through it. Very little return for your amps...
Go ask your friends in Powertrain who have done testing whether it can work. Yes there is no coolant flow, yes it still provides a benefit. I am not making this stuff up, in my previous work I ran tests and worked with others who have ran tests. Tests with extremely accurate equipment, data logging, and following a strict procedure producing repeatable results.
Please, you guys are not doing others a service to the others on this board here by stating opinion without experience. I am not trying to hurt anyones feelings here, but I think it is important to get correct information out there for others. That should be all our goal when we respond to technical threads.
I have some experience with electric fans. One example; I bought a 79 TA with a dual flex-a-lite electric fan. Engine temps topped off at about 210 while cruising. This was a 4 speed car which usually do not overheat. I switched the cooling system back to exactly original. The temperature never got over 180 after the switch back. I sold the electric fan on eBay and recovered all the cost to put the car back to stock. It was a 'win win'. So, now when I think about electric fans all I can think of is 'Why bother'? LOL And my engineering friends down at powertrain said they switched to electric fans when they turned the engine sideways and there wasn't any pullies in front to run a belt to.
